Erk?

So, um... what is it that I do all day?

Or, do you mean somebody else's work?

I get _my_ work done with (mostly) FrameMaker. My 
work is to write the customer documents for our 
products.  So far, so good. Even though I'm at 
the bottleneck end of the product release schedule, 
I generally squeak in by deadline.

So... what did you mean, again?

Meanwhile, I've been beating my head against 
OpenOffice on Linux, but I'm so spoiled by 
FrameMaker that OOo seems glaringly full of holes.
At least those holes have plenty of promise 
shining through 'em.
